Seems Like It's Been Forever...

Hi, everyone.

Before I get to today's card, I want to thank OWHers for their support of Bobbi and my new challenge blog. Thank you so much for your well wishes and linked cards. Since challenge winners are going to be invited to be guest card makers for future challenges, we are asking that challenge winners be blog followers.

Again, thanks so much for your encouragement as we embark on this new venture. The OWH family is such a wonderful group of card makers.  :)

Today's Any Hero Card

Seems like it's been forever since I've made a traditional Any Hero card. The card below was inspired by OWH Sketch #206.

Bo Bunny Liberty 12 x 12; Bazzill admiral and watermelon
Distress Ink core antique linen, embossed and lightly sanded
Recollections jute; Little Yellow Bicycle Naturals stickers
Paper Studio and Martha Stewart star punches; Recollections brad
Darice embossing folder
various Distress Inks sponged on dp
Creative Memories circle cutting system

The sample card was fabulous. But, truth be told, this sketch was not as CAS-like as I typically like. Neverthelesss, I think this card turned out okay. Layering neutral texture on texture for the side strip helped me simplify things a little.  :)

Parting Thoughts

Stay warm. Stay safe. And, have a good week.

As always, thanks for stopping and happy scrappin'!
